Description I did not draw this picture! I inked it! The original lineart can be found here! [link]

I found this amazing pencil drawing in *blueblur8lover 's gallery and I loved how she drew the expressions! And the style that she drew NiGHTS in was very cool. So I inked it and coloured it for fun and with her permission, I'm putting it up. The original had a couple more small drawings of NiGHTS on it, but I decided to just do the main one in the centre.

I did this, as usual, with Paint.net. Don't ask me why the hell it took 8 layers, but it did. I've been toying around with the paint bucket and the transparency thing, so that I can do better glow and things. Confuuuusing. @_@ But I'm learning! Most of the colours came off of official NiGHTS art. I used the colour suck-o-matic tool to sap the colours off when I needed them, so that I wouldn't get this crazy looking bold crayon-coloured NiGHTS.

Niiice! The style you've used here is very interesting. Most of it is flat-shaded, with little cel highlights. But, the little details like the eyes and gem have entirely different color structures. It makes them stand out in unusual ways. I likes! *faves*

Thank you! As far as I can tell, I'm still pretty bad at this stuff. Usually I draw by hand and I use my finger to smear the pencil as shading! So I have a lot to learn. Instead of just darkening the colours and shading in like that, I made a layer where I made a transparent grey and erased the areas where there shouldn't have been shading. I did the same with the glow on NiGHTS's chest. a transparent layer of red.

I'm glad that it turned out alright. I hope I get better eventually.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. You'll improve even more with time, and this already looks pretty awesome.
